Charles Tamowski. Duluth. Minn,
that th« Kenedy county highway
isn’t already opened. He's driven
over it—on a bicycle!
He arrived in Harlingen Satur-
day. possibly the first tourist to
negotiate the famous highway.
He plans to continue to Browns-
ville. meet another bicycle travel-
er. and ride to Mexico City.
“The bridges are all completed,
but very little work is now being
done on the highway,” he said
Saturday. The parts that are
completed are excellent, being far
wider than normal. I got onto the
highway by mistake, not knowing
that it was under construction.
I had to lift my bike across a few
fences to get through. I saw no
wildlife, although I'm told there
is plenty of game around there.
But all I saw was a couple of
dead rabbits. It's a lonesome ride.”
Young Tamowski, who has been
engaged in ladies ready-to-wear
work, in the U. S. lighthouse
service on the Great Lakes, and
in the wholesale grocery business,
has been touring since last Octo-
ber. Only in recent weeks, though,
has he abandoned his car for a
bicycle.
He plans to leave for Mexico
City next week.

MISSION—Pierre Tartoue. dis-
tinguished artist, known as “the
man who made Coolidge smile.”
and widely noted as having paint-
ed more of the world's prominent
persons than any other artist
who ever lived, is spending sev-
eral weeks in the Valley. With
Mrs. R. Tartoue. who is a cousin
of Admiral Richard Byrd and
Senator Harry Byrd, the artist
has bought a citrus grove near
Mission and eventually will build
on it to live at least a part of
each year in the Valley.
2 Valley Paintings
When his present work Is fin-
ished. the artist will have added
two Valley personalities to the
amazing list of subjects he has
painted-amazing in its length be-
cause of his comparative youth
and amazing for one person to
have met, let alone paint, the
great list of notables who have sat
for him.
Staying at the Bentsen Lodge
at present, Mr. Tartoue has been
commissioned to paint Mrs. Elmer
C. Bentsen. wife of one of the
partners in the Bentsen Brothers
firm, and Betty Bentsen. eight-
year-old daughter of another
brother, Lloyd Bentsen, and Mrs.
Bentsen. Both portraits are near-
ing completion.
The artist has a portfolio which
includes reproductions of some of
the paintings he has made. The
folio is filled with portraits of
exquisite beauty—portraits of
some of the most famous men,
the most beautiful women and the
most charming children in the
world of today. To see them is
like a visit to a famous art
museum. In fact, the originals
do hang in the best art galleries
all over the world, and among
collections of the best art au-
thorities.
A partial list of the subjects
who have sat for Pierre Tartoue's
paintings is like reading a chap-
ter of “Who's Who." Among them
are: His Majesty, King Gustaf
V of Sweden; Colonel John Cool-
idge • father of the late president,
who received the portrait with de-
light). Edwin Markham, the poet;
His Eminence John Cardinal Far-
ley, His Highness the Maharajah
Bahadur of Burdwan-India, Mrs.
Aldred I. DuPont. Anita Louise,
and others. Of Valley interest
are the portraits of R. T. Stuart,
Oklahoma City, who owns prop-
erty in the Valley, and Major-
General John F. O’Ryan, who has

HARLINGEN — Officials of the
Harlingen Bonehead Club, after
hours of secret conferences here
Saturday night, announced they
would put a proposition to Cameron

way from Harlingen to San Benito.
“If Judge Dancy will come up
here and stretch out straight this
present highway he built so crook-

“we will agree to allow them to
underpass both Harlingen and San
Benito and come up in the midd’c

they want to.”

Inclusion Of Rural

BROWNSVILLE — Members’ of
Brownsville Council Number Three
of the League of United Latin Amer-

ing inclusion of rural housing tn

The resolution endorsed the pro-

BROWNSVILLE—A 16 0 per cent
Increase. $100.070 02, in tax collec-
tions for districts represented by
his office was indicated in figures
for the calendar years of 1939 and
1938. released Saturday by Cam-
eron County Tax Assessor-Collector
Ralph T Agar.
Collections totaling $1,060,807.39
fnr 1939 were comnared with 1938's
total of $960,737 37.
Collection of taxes current in
1939 totaled $629,581.22, an increase
of 34.7 per cent, $162,193.46, over
the 1938's $467 387 76.
A drop was indicated in poll tax
collections for 1939. only $12,741.27
being taken in as compared to $18.-
039 25 in 1938. county, state and con-
gressional election year.
Occupation tax collections in-
creased slightly, with $828 54 collect-
ed in 1939 compared to $792 62
Beer-wine-liquor tax collections
fell off for 1939. with $8.677 44 col-
lected for the year as compared
with 1938's $9,37i 21.
Inheritance tax collections to-
taled $5 329 64 in 1939. None was
collected in 1938
Delinquent tax collections fell
Off. with $187.07504 collected in
1939 as compared to $247,848.81 for
1938
Motor vehicle registration tax
collections gained for 1939, with
$222,574 24* collected as compared
to 1938's $217,297 72. A check with
County Auditor L. A. Bauer show-
ed the county kept $131.342 22 of the
motor vehicle fees in 1939 as com-
pared to $123.450 43 in 1938.
Mr. Agars figures included col-
lection of taxes for state and coun-
ty and for taxing districts consoli-
dated with his office.
Delinquent tax collections for
five-vear periods are as follows:
1924 to 1929—$728 759 12; 1929 to
1934—8736.463 79; 1934 to 1939-$1,-
181.186 38.
Re-assessment of delinquent tax-
es under the McKenzie opinion be-
gan in 1936. to aid collection of de-
linquent tax until it was halted De-
cember 31. 1939 During that period
delinquent taxes totaling $1,282,400
were re-assessed to total $961,815.79.
Taxes several years delinquent
received little reduction m "prin-
cipal.” Mr. Agar said, because pen-
alty and interest on taxes delin-
riuent in 1934 or before amounts
Io 35.2 per cent at present. Pen-
alty and interest on taxes delin-
quent in 1935 amounts to 32 per
cent; 1936. to 26 per cent; 1937. to
20 per cent; and in 1938, to 14 per
cent.
“With many districts levying tax-
es each year based on anticipated
collections, it is imperative some
drastic action be taken to collect
delinquent tax, to prevent the bur-
den of taxation from being carried
by those who pay taxes,” Mr. Agar
declared In some districts the
amount of delinquent tax exceeds
the amount of debt.
Mr. Agar has proposed summary
